I Have A City In An Alternate World Chapter 853

Chapter 853

853 Pre-battle preparations _1

After returning to the Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen gathered the key personnel in charge of the overseas campaign and began to discuss how to complete Lou Cheng’s advancement mission.

In the huge conference room, after everyone finished watching the previously recorded holographic image, they suddenly fell into a state of deep thought.

Before the battle began, no one had expected that the other side would be an ocean without any land, which greatly increased the difficulty of the battle.

No one present had any experience in naval warfare. Even if some of the original world’s residents recruited by the Holy Dragon City were former Navy soldiers, their original world’s experience might not be suitable for overseas battlefields.

In fact, if it was just a simple sea transportation, it would not be difficult. After all, the Holy Dragon City had the logistics support of the original world. They could have any s.h.i.+p they wanted.

Therefore, a sea without land was not enough to give them a headache.

The most troublesome thing was that 90% of the Holy Dragon City cultivators were landlubber. Although the remaining 10% knew how to swim, they had no experience in fighting at sea.

Under such circ.u.mstances, if they rashly entered the overseas battlefield, their combat power would definitely be greatly reduced. They would definitely suffer unnecessary losses when facing those lost clans who had been accompanied by water for their entire lives!

Although the Holy Dragon City had a large business, they could not do such a losing business.

Moreover, there were mysterious guardians in those tribes. Who knew what kind of abilities they had, and whether they would cause great harm to the sacred Dragon Legion?

Furthermore, there was a no-fly restriction in the sky above the level 8 overseas battlefield. The aircraft and artillery could not be used normally, so they had to use targeted weapons!

Time slowly pa.s.sed. After everyone discussed for half a day, they finally formulated a plan. After Tang Zhen confirmed it, he announced the execution.

The first thing that had to be done was to build an enormous floating island near the teleportation gate as a temporary stop and a transfer station of resources, in case they would not even have a place to stay after the teleportation.

According to Tang Zhen’s estimation, the surface area of this floating island should be at least two square kilometers or more. Otherwise, it would not be enough!

Building such a platform on the sea was definitely a big project that required a lot of manpower and material resources!

However, it was also a coincidence that when Tang Zhen was in the wasteland world, he had collected a lot of sc.r.a.pped wars.h.i.+ps. Because they could not be repaired in the short term, they were used to build a platform to modify the floating island!

This kind of modification and construction was not troublesome, and the Holy Dragon City did not lack the corresponding technical personnel and labor force, so this work could be started immediately.

If he didn’t have enough materials for the s.h.i.+p, he could return to the original world or the wasteland world to collect more. After all, compared to a complete wars.h.i.+p, the price of such a sc.r.a.pped s.h.i.+p was much lower!

The second choice was to choose a means of transportation on the sea. At first, some people suggested using wars.h.i.+ps, but considering the restrictions of no flight and the difficulty of operating wars.h.i.+ps, they eventually chose to use large flat-bottomed boats to connect into a mobile floating island and use it as a mobile Sea Base.

Although it looked a little crude, it was easy to operate and had enough s.p.a.ce to use.

On such a large-scale mobile floating island, even the loucheng Warriors who were not good at swimming could live and work easily, and their original discomfort would be reduced to a minimum.

Moreover, long-range weapons could be set up on such a platform. Even if the use of aircraft and artillery would be affected, weapons such as close-combat cannons and torpedoes, even laser and electromagnetic weapons could be used normally!

Although they were unable to gain air superiority, the Holy Dragon Army’s firepower advantage still existed and would not be weakened too much.

As for the underwater defense, the Holy Dragon City already had countermeasures. They were not afraid of the enemy launching an attack from the bottom of the sea!

Tang Zhen was prepared to build four of these floating islands that could move on the sea. He would then consider whether to increase the number depending on the situation.

After all, it would cost money to build such floating islands, and once the battle on the level 8 overseas battlefield was over, they would be reduced to sc.r.a.p iron, so there was no need to build too many to cause waste.

Of course, there were still some gunboats and patrol boats around this giant floating island. At the same time, a large number of water motorcycles and a.s.sault speedboats were also prepared to enhance the Holy Dragon Legion’s mobile combat ability!

As for the wars.h.i.+p, it would require the mobilization of professionals from the original world. As it involved many things, it could only be temporarily delayed.

The third was to select the Holy Dragon City cultivators and Army soldiers who were familiar with the water to partic.i.p.ate in the first batch of battle during the preparation period.

At the same time, special training should be given to the combatants who did not know how to swim. They should change and manufacture weapons and equipment that were suitable for fighting on and under the water, and familiarize themselves with them as soon as possible!

As for the fourth point, it was proposed by Tang Zhen. It was to send a certain number of tower worlds into the water world first and use benefits to rope in the travelers on the sea, making them work for the Holy Dragon City and become a servant army.

With the help of these Aboriginals who were familiar with the water, it would be much easier to complete the advancement mission!

After Tang Zhen saw the life of the vagrants on the sea, he clearly understood that as long as he provided them with a place that was sufficient for them to live in and sufficient living supplies, they would choose to obey without the slightest hesitation.

As for how to deal with these vagrants after the war, Tang Zhen had not considered it for the time being.

After the meeting ended, everyone went back to their duties and immediately got busy.

In the following period of time, the entire Holy Dragon City became unusually lively.

In the middle of Pearl Lake and around the lake in the back Valley, where swimming was forbidden, teams of cultivators and soldiers in sleeveless s.h.i.+rts and shorts were being driven into the water. From time to time, they could hear cries of pain.

It was strange to say that this group of people who were fearless on the battlefield would constantly appear cowards during their swimming training and would not go into the water no matter what.

Every time this happened, the officer in charge would throw him into the water with a dark face and let him struggle.

Only when they were half-drowned would they be dragged ash.o.r.e by the swamp frogmen’s temporary lifeguards and hung on a rack to control the water.

By relying on this training method, it did not take long for the non-swimmers of the Holy Dragon City to learn how to ensure that they did not sink into the water.

However, compared to the sea’s lost race, their swimming skills were still far from good!

Fortunately, with the help of technology and a large number of underwater breathing insects, the Holy Dragon city’s basic combat ability had been formed.

At the same time, Tang Zhen was also constantly travelling between the two worlds and bringing back a large amount of resources. This included two mobile bases on the sea that had been urgently manufactured.

Such a large mobile base on the sea was completely modified from dry-scattered cargo s.h.i.+ps and container s.h.i.+ps. Although the structure was simple, there were absolutely no quality problems. Carrying ten to twenty thousand combatants was a piece of cake!

It was fortunate that Tang Zhen’s storage bracelet had sufficient s.p.a.ce. Otherwise, it would be impossible to move such a huge creature into the water!

As for the floating island platform in front of the portal, it was currently in the process of being built. Now that they had a mobile base on the sea, it didn’t matter even if it was built a little later.

In addition to the mobile base on the sea, Tang Zhen also brought back a large number of small s.h.i.+ps, various marine supplies, and supplies, which cost a considerable amount of money.

Fortunately, to the current Holy Dragon Corporation, these expenses were nothing. After Tang Zhen took out the list of materials they needed, it only took two days to gather them.

This was the advantage of having subordinates to run errands for him. Otherwise, G.o.d knows how much time would be wasted if Tang Zhen were to take care of it himself!

When all the supplies were ready, the Holy Dragon City officially began the campaign on the level 8 overseas battlefield!
